Indiana and Minnesota Fives Clash in Big Ten Basketball Struggle Tonight

HOOSIER FANS’ INTEREST ON BLOOMINGTON SCRAP Chicago at lowa in Only Other Western Conference Game —Maroons and Crimson Favorites in Contests, Two Big Ten basketball games are on the schedule tonight with interest of Hoosier fans centered on the Indiana and Minnesota battle at Bloomington. In the only other Western Conference affair the fast coming Chicago team will meet the crippled lowa five at lowa City.

The Crimson are favorites to win over the Gophers for the very good reason they beat them on their home floor a few weeks ago. However, the rather erratic play of the Hoosiers has the dopesters guessing in every contest. No one knows exactly how the team will go. Gophers Strong Minnesota has lost some close ones the same as Indiana and is capable of giving plenty of opposition. The Swedes lost to Michigan, the leading team right now, on the Wolverines' home floor by only one point. Chicago is all ready for lowa and is liable to down the Hawkeyes on their home court. The Maroons, with splendid material were a little slow in starting, but are coming along In fine shape at present. Cedar Rapids Players Three of the players were members of the championship Cedar Rapids High School five that won in the interscholastic tourney held at the Chicago University in 1921. Chicago has hopes of taking the Conference lead by trimming the lowans and then repeating the dose on Michigan on Feb. 9. Friday Basketball Results COLLEGE Purdue, 23: Hanover, 19.

GOLF SERIES NO. I When Marston Almost Missed Tourney By JOE WILLIAMS NEA Service Staff Writer

| —N agitated young man I I emerged from a stuffy tele- | phone booth in the Blackstone Hotel In Chicago In early September, mopping his brow furiously.

“That settles it,” he mumbled. “I’m going home and I'll never play in a national golf championship again.” It was Max Marston of Philadelphia, Max's Ire was aroused by the fact he had come to Chicago ten days too early for the amateur classic. A change in the playing dates had been made and Marston wasn’t notified. Whether he went back home or stayed to practice is not a matter of public knowl-

edge. But It is a matter of record he ultimately won the championship, his first success in eight attempts. Obviously, Marston was happy that he changed his mind and stayed for the battle—a battle which returned him triumphant over Jess Sweetser, defending champion, in a sensational 38hole finals match. Marston’s campaign had Its beginning In 1914. Francis Ouimet beat him that year. The next year Bob Gardner beat him at Detroit. The Ouimet-Gaxdner combination, incidentally, has been a scourge to Marston. The two of them, at different intervals, whipped him in no fewer than five championships. Mars-

Prof. Goofus Tells of G. Hog’s Idiosyncracies

"But why,” the Reporter asked, “does the groundhog go back into his hole when he sees hla shadow?” The Reporter felt there had never been enough light shed upon the genuine reason for the bYb. 2 phenomenon. Prof. Reginald Goofus started counting the warts on a pickle that he was eating. It was his way of concentrating. "Simplicity itself,” he said at last, looking at the Reporter with a bright gleam in his eye. “The creature is at once gregarious and temperamental. He comes from his hole and secs his shadow. Being a gregarious animui he speaks to It. It does not reply. Being a temperamental animal he returns to his hole, considerably piqued at the slight. What could be more logical?” Interesting History The professor took another drink of polarine and continued in a smooth, oily voice: “His history is especially interesting. He was first known to the clvi lized world when he was captured nine miles from land or water on the borders of the Sahura desert, swinging from limb to limb on a strawberry tree. It was peculiar to notice at that time that he could eat, sleep, drink and chew his own food. "Then the strength of tho animal seemed to decline. Where at first the member of a family would call ‘PeeWee’ to Its mate, It became necessary at last for one to say ’Pee’ and the other to say 'Wee,’ and in latter years the recognition is a mere gesture with the paw. “Feeding of their young is a problem that has puzzled scientists of all ages. There is rarely enough food to go around the family of ordinary size. The children pick sides with the father as pitcher for both. One child goes to bat, as it were, with the mother catching. The child snaps at the food gs it I* tip-own to th® mother. Three strikes

balanced. “Line the hall up with either your left toe or heel, depending upon the lie. Grip the club firmly, use an upright swing, and take the club back slowly. You are not to hit the ball. Strike about three Inches back of it. Naturally you must take plenty of sand. The shorter the distance to the green or pin the more sand you take. “Do not let the body power get Into the shot too soon. The primary work Is done by the forearms, .the body effort comes next. “And, finally, be sure to let the club head come all the way through the sand after the ball has been struck.”

is out and a hit is a piece of food. When the food is all gtrne the game Is called. Parents Get Theirs “Os course, the parents play their own little game. The father takes a handful of food and throws it to the ceiling. Whatever doesn't come down belongs to the mother. The mother, of course. Is quite a good sport and is usually willing to wait six or eight months until the top of the cave becomes muddy enough for food to stick there. “The ground hog is unique in the manner of catching its food alive. The ground squirrel, as you can perceive by the similarity between the names, Is a distant relative but nevertheless is 1 considered the best food. The squirrel is chased up a tree and all tho family stands around with knives, making passes at the tree as though to cut it down. This worries the squirrel. If continued long enough it worries him to death and the food is at hand.” DUNN CHANGES METHODS Bond Interest and Principal to Be Paid at Courthouse. Interest on county bond issues and principal on bonds expired will be paid at the courthouse instead of at banks hereafter, County Auditor Harry Dunn annouced today. “The county lost about 550,000 to $60,000 a year under the plan used by Leo K. F'eeler of paying off at banks,” Dunn said. “It will be twenty years before some of the records are straightened out,” Dunn said. “The bond issue of $210,000 for the Delaware St. bridge over Fall Creek was never entered on the bond record, so far as we can find. F*urthere, no provision was made to take care of the interest, as far a* the record sows.”

putters known to the game and the equal of any in playing out of trouble. The champion advocates the explosion shot In recovering from sand traps. “It’s safer than a chip shot,” says Marston, “because the player, taking a full swing, is less likely to look up, and looking up is what ruins most bunker shots. A firm, even stance is necessary. Do not merely stand on the sand. Wiggle your feet around In the sand until you feel comfortably

RALLY BY MORAN COMES TOO LATE TO BEAT DUNDEE Johnny Wins on Points and Knocks Opponent Out of Leonard Bout, By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 2. —For a “young I fellow trying to get along and learning fast,” Johnny Dundee, the only j double-title holder in the business, does | surprisingly well. In his career of fifteen years Dun- | dee has fought 300 times. Over this j stretch. Signor Corrora, as Johnny is known in the real estate business, has spent most of his time beating the man in the ring with him. FYiday night In Madison Square Garden Dundee knocked Fal Moran, a young Italian from New Orleans, right j out of a fight with Benny Leonard and set him back from a purse that would \ have been fancy. Dundee demonstrated that while MoI ran could out-slug a hitter like Charlie White and stop a partially blind Shugrue, he had yet to learn how to fight an old man whose brain still works in high. Dundee won a fifteen-round decision from Moran, and the only yelp about the unanimous vote of the two judges and the referee were the wise birds who had 8 to 3 that Dundee couldn’t win. Moran finished with a burst of speed. He all but stopped Dundee in the fourteenth round with a volley of right-handers, but Dundee knew how to hold and cover up and he weathered the storm. Dundee won eight rounds of the fight by a decisive margin.

FYankfort Is surely bock of it* team There is more city. When 150 fans charter a spa clal of two cars for the long trip tc Columbus, about a four-hour ride, I those far s believe In their team. Sixteen Straight FYankfort Is the only team among those better known which has not lost. FYiday night’s victory made II sixteen straight wins. It was an im pressive triumph at Columbus and a victory which cannot be tossed aside without much thought. Several coaches in Indiana were shaking theli heads over that score today.
